Pushing bar back towards my head off the chest a bit more. Bar felt very light in my hands on every set. Bar speeds/RPEs oddly consistent on the sets across.

I walked about 25 mins this evening. It was pretty relaxing, and also cleared my head a bit. It would be a nice habit to get into for more than just developing a tiny bit of aerobic capacity. I work from home most of the time, so that cuts down on my walking too.

How is your attitude regarding your back issues? You appear to be a seasoned vet just taking what the day gives you but it's got to be frustrating. Hope you resolve quick. regardless, your strength remains Hodge

Thanks. Yes, it's very frustrating. I just want to squat 600+.
